Hose guides (some call them hose guards) are an elegant solution for protecting your plants from your garden hose and especially useful when maneuvering around corners. The Happy Returns design features a vintage glass insulator (your choice of clear or aqua, sometimes other colors are available) atop a copper pipe concealing an 18” rebar pin. The above-ground height is adjustable from 6 to 12 inches. These would look great in your garden even if they weren’t so darned practical. Price is $15.00 each.
